Athena Techne: An Assertion of Technical, Civilized Virtue

Anthropological investigation interwoven with autobiography, Athena Techne is a call to arms for those who want civilization to succeed against the onslaught of demagogues and the weakest imaginations. The book is not a threat to any religion, it is not a call to practice Paganism in the forest. It is a call to become workers improving the grand human endeavors we call cities, the internet, space travel, and complex inter-racial, inter-cultural trade networks. Below are quotes from Athena Techne: The word "demiurge" is a Latinized form of Greek demiourgos, literally "public worker", and which was originally a common noun meaning "craftsman" or "artisan". Techne can be translated "human endeavor", and zombies are those who have ceased to contribute to human endeavor. Athena Techne is a mythological goddess, a patron of human endeavor, whereas Ares, her brother, is a patron of bloodlust and dumb violence on a massive scale. Zombies listen to an unending message lodged in their heads, such as the Earth Liberation Front's message to destroy civilization in order to save Nature, or Reagan's message to downsize government and the public sphere to a point of no use, or Osama bin Laden's call for Jihad. Zombies eventually aggregate together and fight on the side of Ares. This work recognizes a conflict that most people have not realized: a struggle between Ares and his Zombies against Athena and her Public Workers. Techne is human endeavor, whether it be highway construction or amending the Constitution of the United States. All techne (technology) needs maintenance. Any society, as a technological object, should not be seen as inherently running well forever without intervention, nor totally run through and through with evil or stupidity. We should expect some degree of upkeep and modification. The demiurge is human endeavor's only saviour, and the demiurge is you.

"The Ghost Way" is the true story of the family in Southern Thailand during the mid 1970's. Kung, my wife, had told me a few stories of her family being driven out of their home on many nights by evil entities. The Ramanakajjas were then forced to walk through the dark, eerie jungle with only small candles lighting the path to their grandfather's house. This was just the beginning of an intense battle with supernatural villains that inhabit the land to this day. "The Ghost Way" is told by the people who suffered the most during this horrendous period, Kung's parents, Eot and Jak Ramanakajja. Eot mesmerized us with the vast array of mortals and spirits that passed in and out of their lives during their years on "The Ghost Way." It is difficult to recall any ghost story or film that can rival the Ramanakajja family's troubled past in terms of plot intricacies, the cast of characters involved from this world and the other one, and in the sheer terror and mayhem directed at the parents and children. The family was most fortunate to survive the ordeal. At the heart of this colossal struggle and journey from darkness is a young impoverished family of farmers' escape from a great malevolence to an eventual re-emergence into the light. The story's culmination involves not only Kung's family and the property's next and final owners, but, most stunningly, reveals the triumph of a prehistoric and depraved evil over this land.
